Explore the powerful combination of WebAssembly (Wasm) and Ubuntu containers in this 44-minute conference talk from UbuCon Asia 2022. Discover how Wasm is evolving from a browser runtime to handle crucial backend functions, offering language neutrality, cross-platform support, security, small binary sizes, and excellent performance. Learn about Wasm's potential in cloud environments and its relationship with Docker, debunking misconceptions about it being a replacement. Gain insights into installing, developing, building, and deploying Wasm applications in Ubuntu-based environments using the CNCF sandbox project WasmEdge. Understand the installation process using standard scripts, building options for Debian or Snap-based Ubuntu environments, and deployment strategies with Krustlet for running Wasm in Kubernetes clusters like Microk8s and Minikube.
